1943
The class of 1943 hit Life Magazine not so long ago—hope you all saw the picture of BobMeservey's wedding!
Well, another month has rolled aroundSpring is almost here. I have a good supply of news so pull up a chair, light your pipe and guzzle awhile on a glass of beer while I acquaint you with the latest doings of your classmates.
We had a big night in Boston on the 26th of February, it was the Annual Boston Alumni Association Banquet. Among those present were Bob Pelren, down from Concord, Paul Hanlon, Farmer Mead, Paul Randall, Captain Bill Millmore, Bill Whitmarsh, Josh Clark, Bill Glovsky, Warren Taylor, Duke Dushame, Johnny Koslowski, Freedberg, Ralph Entwistle, Walt Powers, Don McCorkindale, Stan Priddy, John Shaw, Your's Truly, and that's all I can recall.
We've formed a Dartmouth Club of Belmont, here, and the 28th of March we're sponsoring a concert by the Dartmouth Glee Club at our local high school.
Now to get into some news items: Reporter Bill Remsen came forth with the following items of interest. Down at the Yale hockey game (that's the one we don't talk about) he ran into Larry Noble,Harry Glynne and Jug Agry '44. All looked healthy but slightly sad about the defeat. Larry is studying at Columbia. Bill finally cleared up Guy Malletts status for me—Guy is Sales-Manager for T.W.A. in Paris. Thanks Bill—let's have even more next month.
Dick Kimber sends news that he's working out of the New York office of the F. J. Stokes Machine Company as a sales-service engineer. He reports that Howie Thomas and Harry Semmes can be seen occasionally at Bryn Mawr and Vassar respectively. Other news items come from J. Clark Moore recently engaged to be married on June 17 in Minneapolis is working for American Airlines. GusRosenthal, at the University of Chicago, is doing research in social biology sounds interesting Gus tell us more. (What's her name.) Johnny Reps, Gus tells me, just received his Masters in Regional Planning at Cornell and leaves shortly for England. Johnny Cook just returned from honeymooning for a month in Florida, is working for the International Harvester Company training to be a Foreign Sales Representative. Bob Andree, with the J. C. Penny Cos. in New York as an assistant buyer, reports having seen Art Clement, Maurice Dampier and Mike Diaz at the New York "D" Club on an open house party. George Shimizu, in Los Angeles recently became the father of an eight-pound boy Richard James, born January 10. George is with the Occidental Life Insurance Company. Ist Lt. TracyBreed, with the Air Transport Command at Westover Field, Mass., flies to Paris and Rome just returned from being stationed in Bermuda. Tracy is married and has a little girl. Doc. A. E. LeMarbre is serving his internship at St. Mary's Hospital in Waterbury, Conn. George Tillson, down in Pennsylvania, is working for the Bell Telephone Company as a "Commercial Student Engineer." Finally I had a card from ]im Stewart—Jim's at the 6lst Station Hospital in Livorno, Italy, near Naples. Says he gets up into the mountains for some skiing. His wife joins him there soon. Harry Brubaker, '41 was a patient of his recently.
I secured a list of the fellows from our class who were killed in the war: Walt Anderson, Amby Broughton, John Bushne'1, Bill Cabell, John Card, Fred Carey, Emmett Corrigan, Rem Crego, Donald Harty, Bob Hobart, Lloyd Holton, Henry Inge, John Kearney, John Lawson, Dick Mieher, Fred Rhodes, Stan Sandberg, Dick Shapiro, John Smith, Art Stein, Willard Tostman, George Westerlind. and Warren Williams. I am writing to each of the fathers of these boys to inform them that they have been made honorary members of our class. This is being done at the suggestion of the "Dartmouth Parents Committee," and I think is a nice gesture.
We still manage to marry off a few of our classmates or at least get them engaged, so here goes for that news: Janet Grant engaged to Ed Younglove; Margaret Chadwell to C. H. Walter Howe; Jean Riley to Bruce Anderson Bruce enters the University of Rochester Medical School in the autumn; and Marilyn Morse to Bob Brown out in Chicago way. The one wedding I have is a very interesting one it is that of Miss Madya Kalam Walter, an Estonian, now of Mer gentheim, Germany, to Lt. Stan Calder. The ceremony took place on January 15 in Germany.
Johnny Koslowski—our boy—did himself proud this winter as coach of the Belmont Hill School hockey team. John's boys won all but one game that, Johnny hates to say was to the Harvard freshmen, coached by none other than Stan Priddy. Both boys had good clubs, but Belmont Hill went on to win the prep school title for this area and won the Dartmouth Tourney for New England prep schools. Kos has a swell set-up, he teaches and coaches, backfield for football, head coach of hockey and helps out in baseball. Belmont Hill is a boarding school and John would be interested to hear from any of you fellows that know of somebody looking for a high grade school of this type. By the way, I just received word that Kos became the father of a son, born March 4. His second child.
Norton Grubb writes an interesting letter from Chile yes, I have news from all over the world. Nort's with Esso down there for a year of training and has his wife with him. He reports that FredWor then is also there—working an Agency in Chile and Peru for the Atlas Supply Company. He's bringing his family down there soon. Fred's doing lots of swimming and says he expects to go in for it pretty seriously in a short while. Let's hear more from you "Foreigners."
Had a nice letter from Bob Costello. "Besides working for myM.F.A. (Master of Fine Arts) at the Department of Drama at Yale I'm teaching a course in the English Department to the undergraduates. It's a pretty full year (plus a wife and two children, both girls no Dartmouth materialpotential Carnival Queens). I graduate this June and then out into the cold cruel world looking for some place in the theatre."
Jack Troster sent a letter and an article clipped from the Stanford University paper all about Dartmouth and its newly installed self-government system and the Campus Taproom in the basement of Commons. Jack is in the Department of Geology at Stanford doing graduate work. Jack and the Mrs. the former Marguerite Bailey of Lexington, Mass., live in "Stanford Village" on the campus. Jack says, "Lately the daily paper at Stanford has had several articles on Dartmouth. I have been sorely tempted to write the rebuttal to the many misquoted facts and stabs, but the University defends itself by dishing out too much work on the academic side to allow time for retribution. Locally, however, I have fought for our side. There's a jab about the Ivy League having its Indians too comes from the fact that Stanford is known as the Stanford Indians. I wished to point out the well-known facts- about Eleazar and his heathens to these neophite red skins of this coast (founded 1892). Other articles have dealt with the fact that Dartmouth was noted for the fact that Walter Wanger immortalized it in THAT movie that was the last straw, but exams trapped me and no rebuttal was forthcoming." Swell letter Jack, let's have more! He also reported that Roy McMahon is in Nuremburg, Germany, as one of the lawyers on the War Crimes Trial Board. I'd sure like to get hold of Roy to get a few words for our column how about it Roy!
Sparky Adams cub reporter from Harry Truman's state sent along quite a bit of news, swell, Sparky!
Gerry Peterson, with 1.8.M. has been transferred to Cincinnati. Spark saw the following fellows at the alumni dinner on January 27: Ralph Trovillion, Charlie Edison, John McCarthy, Jim Mullins, and George Monroe. "As for myself," Sparky goes on, "I'm seriously considering changing careers. At present I'm employed by F. W. Woolworth Cos. in an accounting capacity in the St. Louis district office. However, I have just about settled on selling insurance, as I am deeply interested in getting into a selling job."
Dick Bugbee, working in Detroit for the A. D. T. Company, also wrote a nice long letter. "The job is fine but I still like New England to live in. However, I expect to get transferred from here in the next year or so. Where, I don't know. I have a son almost two years old who keeps me very busy. I see a few '43's quite regularly: Chuck Bennett, Paul Weinbrenner, Charlie Bradley an,d Roy Gaskill."
Here are a few more items of interest from here, there and everywhere: Ed In graham, editorial assistant for Moody's Inv. Service in New York City; Dan O'Connor, Radio Electronics Department at Gila Junior College in Thatcher, Ariz.; Bob Pelren, now in Concord, N. H., with branch office of Paine, Webber, Jackson and Curtis, Investment Brokers. Bob was down for the Boston Alumni Association dinner—good to see him again, our luncheon groups misses him!
Bing Donaldson, good old Bing, came across with a heap of news. That's what I really like to get and I want to tell you Bing—and all the rest of you fellows, that write to me, whether your letters are long or short, that I really appreciate your efforts. It doesn't take much time and I guarantee you'll get a kick out of seeing it all in print even if I do cut down some or twist it around. Well, back to Bing. He says, "Since my gyrations are swift and actual movements quite slow I'm just getting around to fulfilling a firm resolve to do my share toward maintaining the '43 section of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE." Bing graduated from Tuck last fall and since then has been with 1.8.M. in New York City. "After I got out of Tuck it was root hog or die, so after a preliminary tussle I finally broke down the New York Sales Manager of 1.8.M. sufficiently to get a job as a student salesman. That was about the smartest thing I ever did because I am really sold on the company and the product." He passes on the following news: Leon Chapman, "the Lip" was married last fall to a Dover, N. H., girl. They are living in Rochester, N. H. Bo die Mosenthal is taking an executive training course with a big rug manufacturing and importing firm.
Pres Brooks, with the Investment Department of Royal Liverpool, Ltd., is around town.
Frank Dain, wife and baby are down at Bainbridge, Md. still with Uncle Sam, while HarpyDaniels and wife are living in Minneapolis where Harv works for an Investment Counciling firm.
Secretary, 11 Eliot St., Belmont, Mass. Treasurer, Parkhurst Hall, Hanover, N. H.
